dblux Adds New OB Truck To Fleet

Danish broadcaster dblux has expanded its fleet of outside broadcast vehicles with its new OB4 HD truck.
The vehicle is reserved primarily for TV and other major events such as the broadcasting of sporting competitions and concerts.
For the planning and installation of the communication systems, dblux commissioned the Copenhagen-based company AVIT Systems.
AVIT opted to rely on equipment from RTS to assure onboard communications.
At the core of the installation is an ADAM-M modular matrix intercom from RTS.
"In terms of reliability and performance, the ADAM-M is simply unbeatable," explains AVIT Systems' Technical Product Manager Jan Ostergaard.
The ADAM-M matrix installed in OB4 HD is equipped with RJ-45 network cards – a technical detail that brings immense advantages.
"It is possible to install up to six RJ-45 network cards in a single frame," says Nico Lewis, RTS Senior Sales Manager. "Each of these offers the user access to 96 ports."
Either the RTS or the Ethernet standard can be used to implement the cabling.
"Two breakout cables and one breakout panel less per slot," says Lewis, "which means lower costs, fewer potential sources of error, and – of vital importance in the case of an outside broadcast vehicle – a reduction in the overall space requirement and weight of the installation."
Besides the ADAM-M matrix itself, the intercom solution on board the new vehicle includes 13 KP-12 CLD, two KP-32 CLD, and 15 MCP-90-12 keypanels as well as twelve PH-88R headsets – all from RTS.
